I have done some of the things mentioned below myself, a piece of advise, either consider this or do what your heart says is the right thing to do.
The big grumbler
We have our preferences and dislikes - be it about colleagues, our office, employers or life in general. Do not vent it out on social media to seek the world's sympathy. Recruiters see it as a sign of a candidate who is always grumbling.
Don't be a political fundamentalist
Everyone has strong political views and social media to the place where they like to show it off. However, employers do not like candidates who may one day start asking coworkers to join a political party.
Don't be a troll
Never ever bug or troll anyone on Facebook or Twitter or post nasty comments. It all comes back you when you are looking for a job.
Inappropriate photos
Social media is all about images but you must be careful what you post. You will automatically know which image can put off a recruiter - like you posing with a gun or doing something that you think is cool but may actually be unprofessional. Make your own judgement.
Facebooking, Tweeting during office
If you are Facebooking and Tweeting every 15 minutes, the recruiter would assume that you have nothing else to do.
